I’m probably plenty late to the party, but the party isn’t over yet. Thank God, because Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” is beautiful. This Is America” takes the “modern day minstrel show” concept we see discussed in so much “real music” several steps further with its accompanying video. It takes Lauryn Hill’s “I add a […]

I can’t believe I almost missed this one from “BosMoreBurgh” artist B.Eveready. Astute SOTB readers know why I’m a bit bummed, as B.Eveready and I have a bit of a history dating back to These Beats of Mine.
